    either way. I'd consider getting a set of clears just to have something different for a while.

    FWIW late model fogs are smoked from the factory ;)

      No black kidneys, though.

          I'm going to have to vote clear. The smoked ones blend in a bit too much to me.

            Voted clear because the smoked is too much with the darker color of the car.

                      Ah, but that's the point! Makes it flow so much better. Since the chrome kidney is the only shiny part on the whole front end, it sticks out, particularly if you are running the smoked smileys.

                      So, my opinion...clear smileys, chrome kidney...smoked smileys, shadowline kidney.

                      Whatever you do, that car will still look hot as fuck :up:

                        Tough call. I went with smoked mostly because of the way your car is set up. My cabrio would look stupid with smoked. I feel like the MT2 lends itself better for it. I would have done smoked if I were to have kept my MT2 cabrio...If you recall, i put smoked Lamin-x on the sealed beams.

                          You have smoked turn signals and the fogs look smoked too. The car looks funny without the smoked headlights. All together the car looks beast.

                            The late fogs can appear smoked but they aren't. That's one of the reasons smoked Hella's work out well on facelift models IMO.

                              Another option is to try chrome/silver/or polished headlight rings with the smoked headlights.

                              I felt that my smoked smileys weren't poppin' enough, so I replaced the black headlight rings with polished metal rings. But the polish has dulled, so I plan to replace the polished headlight rings with chrome rings. The chrome headlight rings will also accentuate the chrome grill.
